ELECTRO-OPTIC TRANSDUCER DIE MOUNTED DIRECTLY UPON A TEMPERATURE SENSING DEVICE

摘要

An optical transmitter having an electro-optic transducer mounted directly on a temperature sensor. Due to the close proximity of the electro-optic transducer and the temperature sensor, the temperature sensor more accurately measures the temperature of the electro-optic transducer. This permits for more refined control of the frequency characteristics of optical light emitted by the electro-optic transducer since the emitted optical frequencies of most electro-optic transducers are heavily temperature dependent.
